Scoundrels Take John D. Rockefeller's One Ton Gate that
Barred the Roadway to His Country ResidenceEssay on
the Fine Academic Art of Stealing Gates and Signs
,Why It Is WrongBectbnse the Property Belongs to
Another.
I
COU&DRlilLS recently stole the ponderous gate that
barred the roadway in the avenue leading to the Rocke
feller, country house in the Pocantico hills. Altho two
watchmen guard the estate at night, neither of them knew
of the disappearance of the gate until late in the morning.
Weighing a ton'and made especially to his-order, the gate
was placed in position last autumn by Mr. Rockefeller, who
thereby sought to keep out the villagers who, with crowds of
P sightseers, were constantly interrupting his daily game of
N golf and trying^to get camera shots at his legs." If there
is any institution of higher learning in the7
rooms of the students should be searched at once to see if
any studious and contemplative yonth has a ton of gate under
his bed or hanging on the wall with a few yards of. ribbon
3*, tied to it.
Some people think that they ought to have the best there
is, whether gates, signs or other worldly wealth, and this
state of mind usually accomplishes something, if not all. A
poet of this class sings the idea thus:
"Earth has the best things for the few
i Who dare to stand the test
I has the second chance lor those
Who will not have the best."
If you are going to reach for anything at all, reach, for
the best. On this principle, doubtless, the boys took the best
gate there was in the Pocantico hilK I happened to be
John's.':
f-t You can believe almost anything of boys. An old farmer
driving by our institution of learning with a load of wood^
one day, hitched fend went over to sell the college his wood.
When he returned the wood and the cart were on top of the
dormitory. We tried to persuade the boys not to do it, but
some of them said, "Many hands make light work," and
they went right ahead. You have energy to spare when you
are 20 years old, and your sense of humor has not been
buffeted by the rude headwinds that sometimes blow across
the sea of experience, making your inner being feel like a
pounded thumb by twilight.
Sam Schall and Charles Higgins, two medical students,
caught with goods like the above on them, were given ten
days at Philadelphia. They took signs. They protested that
it was only a college prank, but the magistrate would not
listen. With three' medical colleges and the University of
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia has been well nigh stripped of
everything that could be pried loose and carried. When a
man has paid $15 or $20 for his business sign, the fact, that
it is borne off by strong and intelligent students engaged in
the pursuit of knowledge does not seem to help the hurt
much. Besides, if a medic unnecessarily takes your sign or
your gate, might he not unnecessarily take your appendix?
!-p4 Dr. Max Myer, professor of psychology in the University
of Missouri, is quoted as telling his class that investigations
1v3- seemed to show that man was more intelligent than woman
in the ratio of 44 to 33. It might be interesting right here
to obtain Mrs. Myer's opinion of the professo* and his
theories. is a poor pjrofessor whose psychology cannot
easily be set right by his wife.
.Foreman Michael Tierney of the gang of wood-choppers
on Canaan mountain, in Connecticut,''caught a girl the other
day. Marie Rosie, a 6-year-old Italian gixi ~"wfaos? father -was
chopping on the mountain, was playing around the 500-foot
i trough, used by the Garfield Lime company for sliding wood.
,The girl crawled into the trough and was soon shooting
_. down the narrow pathway, feet first. Men at work on the
big wood pile at the base of the mountain heard screams and
saw a human'girl slipping by like an uncoiled mule-kick. Like
ffa shot out of a cannon the girl left the Wugh and dropped
20 feet into the arms of Michael Tierney, badly frightened,
but uninjured. Mr. Tierney not only took the girl on the fly,
fc^but fielded her in to her mother at home. rA. J. R.

when watches are left with them for repairs,

"For a great many persons think that there are dishonest
jewelers who make a practice, with "full jeweled" watches,
of substituting crystals for the jewels at an enormous profit.
As a matter of fact, there, is no truth in this suspicion.'
A jeweler, no matter how dishonest, would noiT steal the

In antique watches the jewels were often costly. In
